White looks to Duchene as role model

Colin White insists he didn’t feel any additional pressure to produce while Matt Duchene was missing with a groin injury.

It does, however, sound like he missed watching Duchene perform.

“Some of the things he does with the puck, how he creates time for himself in the corners and backs guys off with some of his spin moves….a lot of that stuff is fun to see,” said White. “I’m trying to pick up some things like that, some of the cutbacks, but I’m still working on it.”

White has been on a roll of his own lately, registering two goals and five assists in his past seven games, while playing on a line with Mark Stone and Brady Tkachuk. With nine goals and 14 assists for the season, White ranks second in rookie scoring behind Vancouver’s Elias Pettersson.
